Conformal field algebras with quantum symmetry from the theory of superselection sectors

According to the theory of superselection sectors of Doplicher, Haag, and Roberts, field operators which make transitions between different superselection sectors—i.e. different irreducible representations of the observable algebra—are to be constructed by adjoining localized endomorphisms to the algebra of local observables. We find the relevant endomorphisms of the chiral algebra of observables in the minimal conformal model with central chargec=1/2 (Ising model). We show by explicit and elementary construction how they determine a representation of the braid groupB which is associated with a Temperley-Lieb-Jones algebra. We recover fusion rules, and compute the quantum dimensions of the superselection sectors. We exhibit a field algebra which is quantum group covariant and acts in the Hilbert space of physical states. It obeys local braid relations in an appropriate weak sense.     

Completely regioselective, highly stereoselective syntheses of cis-Bisfullerene

cis-Bisfullerene[60] adducts of 6,13-disubstituted pentacenes (R = Ph, 4'-hydroxymethylphenyl) are synthesized in 75% to 85% isolated yields under kinetically controlled Diels-Alder conditions. The cycloadditions are completely regioselective and highly stereoselective, with only traces of the diastereomeric trans-bisfullerene[60] adducts forming.     

Die Gasphasenstrukturen von CF3NBr2 und (CF3)2NBr

The Gas Phase Structures of CF₃NBr₂ and (CF₃)₂NBr The gas phase structures of the trifluoromethyl bromoamines CF₃NBr₂ and (CF₃)₂NBr were determined by electron diffraction. CF₃NBr₂: N? Br = 188.0(3), N? C = 148.1(13) pm, BrNBr = 111.1(6)° and BrNC = 107.3(8)°; (CF₃)₂NBr: N? Br = 186.9(4), N? C = 144.9(7) pm, BrNC = 114.9(9)° and CNC = 118.6(24)°. The results for these bromoamines are compared to those for the analogous fluoro and chloroamines.
